VIENNA (JTA) -- With more than 250 students living, studying or partying on its campus, quiet moments are rare at the Lauder Business School. But when a lull does occur, it reminds managing director Alex Zirkler of this Jewish university’s opening 10 years ago, when it had only seven students, 15 lecturers and many silent hallways.
Sa više od 250 studenata koji žive, studiraju i "partiraju" u kampusu Lauderove "
Business School" (LBS)
ima malo mirnih momenata. Ali to podsječa direktora Alexa Zirklera na vrijeme kada je otvoren taj Židovski univerzitet prije 10 godina i kada je imao samo 7 studenata, 15 predavača i mnogo praznih dvorana.
Škola je rapidno rasla najviše zbog studenata iz nekadašnjeg Sovjetskog bloka, koji su činili do 70% upisanih,
zbog stipendija i reputacije kao razvijen univerzitet koji daje zapadnjačku edukaciju.
Ali kada LBS označava svoju 1o-godišnjicu
voditelji škole nastoje napraviti bolji balans između Istoka i Zapada, uz pojačanje akademskih performansi kako bi ispunili zadaću škole kao " melting pota" za židovske evropske akademičare.

“People come here to network with fellow students in a Jewish, international setting,” said Jacob Biderman, an Israeli-born Chabad rabbi and the LBS chairman...
But Biderman believes LBS has the potential to attract many Western European Jews who are seeking an institution that combines a top-rate secular education with Jewish studies -- similar to what Yeshiva University and Brandeis offer in the United States. For students from the East, LBS offers more than just an education, but an opportunity to gain a toehold on new lives in more affluent central and Eastern European countries....
Some 300 to 400 students apply for admission each year, of which approximately 100 are accepted. Applicants are evaluated by the LBS academic committee on the basis of their grades, but to receive a scholarship and housing, they must apply to the Jewish Heritage Fund, a separate body that is comprised of several private donors and charities. ..
